About Us
Andy Martin has been fishing the rivers, lakes and ocean in Southern Oregon and Northern California his entire life. He grew up in Brookings, Ore., catching salmon and steelhead in the Chetco and Rogue rivers, while spending the summer chasing rockfish and lingcod offshore.
After spending a decade as an award-winning journalist, newspaper editor and publisher, Andy spent two years as the editor-in-chief of Fishing & Hunting News before starting his own sport fishing business, Wild Rivers Fishing. Andy guides full-time on the rivers of Southern Oregon and Northern California, as well as the waters offshore of Brookings. A Coast Guard-licensed captain, Andy is one of the few guides who can also legally operate up to 200 miles offshore.

During the summers, Andy runs a charter boat in Seward, Alaska, as well as Cook Inlet, taking customers to the world’s best halibut and lingcod fishing. He also spends a fair amount of time on the Kenai River during trophy salmon season.

Andy is also a prolific outdoor writer and regularly contributes to Fishing & Hunting News, Saltwater Sportsman, Salmon Trout Steelheader, Game & Fish, ESPN Outdoors, Oregon Hunter and Fish Alaska Magazine. He also tests products for major tackle manufacturers and serves on the pro and field staffs for Pautzke Bait Co., Shakespeare, Pflueger and Worden’s Lures/Yakima Bait.

During the 2007 season in Cook Inlet, Alaska, Andy was one of the most successful charter boat captains, regularly getting his customers into 100-plus-pound halibut. In Seward, where Andy took guests into the fish-rich waters of the Gulf of Alaska, his customers continued to catch halibut topping 100 pounds as well as lingcod more than 60 pounds and easy limits of smaller halibut, rockfish and coho salmon.

Andy provides his customers with quality equipment, safe and comfortable boats and the ultimate fishing adventure on America’s Wild Rivers Coast and in the pristine waters of Alaska.
When he isn’t fishing, Andy enjoys writing, hunting and camping and is an avid college football fan.
